    Hi Informer,

     

    wub.gif Love everything you wrote.

     

    Question:

     

    What is the nature of Free Love?

    The one that doesn't have any giver or receiver.

    I think I can field that one for you, Informer.

     

    Well then.

    Free love aka Real love aka pure love. Is all just human fallacies. Ego turds. Not that human made up stuff. Not that possessive, needy, depraved crap. Not those things people call love. That's all just desire and fear. That you and I need to swag off in order to reach true unity. There is only one stream of consciousness, god, love, reality whatever you want to call it. It's absolutely pure. Pondering at what people call love is pondering one pixel on the computer screen of oneness whilst denying everything that surrounds it. Then realising it isn't even a pixel it's just a peice of sticky dirt on the screen of oneness and scraping it off with my finger nail.

     

    I love your question but your question isn't about love. Understand?

     

    Ommmmmm.

     

     

    PS

    Good post informer.

    Ommmmm.

    Tulku is wise here.

     

    He realizes that every person is just looking for the next fcuk.

    He sees the inner sanctum that most of humanity is at a spiritually primitive level and proceed in 'sport groups' 'goth groups' 'hippie groups' etc... They all boil down to 'sex groups' mostly. There are some spiritual groups such as 'monk groups' but in reality most seekers/spiritual individuals of an ACTUAL (not just self perceived/believed) advancement don't really fit into any of these groups at all. Probably most of these 'advanced-loners' if offered there next fcuk with a beautiful mate they would take it. I can honestly say i would. I don't think it's right but I'm not that spiritually advanced yet.

     

    Tulku it's easy to shrug off the 'next fcuk' desire when it isn't you on the chopping block.

    My question is: If Pamela Anderson walked into a bar yadda yadda yadda would you stick to your guns or crumple like oiled wrapping paper?

     

     

    Ommmmmm.

    I've long been perplexed by this shifting pathway; and, walking up the sliding, translucent, perpetually-rearranging blocks I often glance back with a sense of uneasiness and impatience only to be immediately calmed by the view. For although the path ahead of me rearranges itself unexpectedly before I can set foot upon it, the path behind me has become stoic, shimmering in the rays of sun that pierce down through still clouds, each willful step solidified into a million crystal-cubes. I wipe my forehead and drink from my canteen. I glance down at the dustless step under my feet, listening to the faint mechanics moving within, then shift my gaze to my bare toes. I wiggle them. They feel fine.

     

    DATE: 01/01/0001

    I woke up in the pitch dark last night not knowing where I was. I cried out. It wasn't until sunlight faded in that I regained my composure. Despite the scare I'm going to continue walking. I've decided to add dates to my journal. If for nothing else then my sanity, I feel like I've been here for years... I know I'm ascending but not to where. I think I know why but it's a kind of silent truth; I can't put it into words. However I can articulate the immense remorse I feel when the stairway's cubes shift to become a descending path. It's an obsession. It feels like I've lost my way somehow. I just now realized: I have no idea how I got here.

     

    Date: 04/04/0001

    I've been sitting here for a long time trying to work out how many days it's been. Why I forgot to document it, I do not know. Time seems to slip away or vanish here. Like a dream. I think it's been three months. Gone in a haze and somehow it doesn't even bother me. The days seem longer as of late. Brighter. There are less dips in the path though the inner workings of the cubes has grown to a deafening din. They shift in a DNA-like helix before me, only stopping the second I intend to step on them. I still can't remember how I got here. Can you tell me shifting stairs?

     

    Date:05/02/0001

    Breakthough! The cubes seem to be in tuned with my mind-state... It's bizarre... The less I care about the dips the less they occur. I was lost in a dip for days... Obsessive depressed at my lack of progress and only falling farther. It was only when I let go of disappointment and entered a state of indifference that the path shifted. My mind now settles mostly on the nagging question of how I got here. And the more I think about it the more violently the spiral meshes. It's loudest when I try to ignore it. I must plug my ears just to hear myself think.

    I remember little of yesterday, save that I walked easily in silence. The sun was warm. The blocks slow and silent. I felt the breeze with my skin hairs. I remember the sensations... The details of things... I don't believe a single thought perturbed my climb.

     

    Date:06/08/0001

    Rain is soaking my book as I write this. The staircase spirals downward at an even steeper angle. Illuminated with lighting flashes. It was so nice yesterday. Maybe I was wrong about my mind-path link. My doubt and disappointment seem to grow with the storm. I just want it to be like it was before.

     

    Date:8/16/0001

    The geometric twister spirals down and up in a seeming inner battle with itself. I haven't been walking. Just sitting here thinking. I know I should give up this useless debating and get moving but the intensity of the stairway's dance is hypnotic. It feels familiar. I feel warm sitting in the rain watching.

     

    Date:08/31/0001

    The storm is gone. Lazy orange skies. I feel better than ever before and feel no fear in saying that. The steps lead up. Fine. Beautiful. They may collapse any second. Fine. Beautiful. Each thought passes through me without snagging. I hope to see a bird.

    I've reached the summit. It's flat and wide. A platform of translucent squares above the clouds. My mind is pure. Sun reflects off of each cube.

    --

    Some cubes have started to fall from the edges, tumbling away into the fog below. The rubic-serpent that was my staircase is gone as well, whisked away into the fog without me even noticing.

    --

    It's silent. Only one cube remains beneath me. I remove my bandana and ring it out over the edge. I sit down and sip from my canteen: orange juice. I've never felt so unable to articulate something as pure and true as how I feel at this moment. I feel no desire to even try. This will be my last entry. All I will say is that I'm not afraid, everything is as it should be, and I no longer need to remember how I got here. I'm here... It's... Breathtaking. Oh my, you have to see this.

    One technique is to force yourself to go to sleep in a specific position. You should choose something comfortable but not one of your usual positions. Resist the urge to get comfortable or roll over. It's not about falling asleep as you normally do when you're tired. You adopt the position and then stay as still and peaceful as you can. Do not give in and try a 'new' position. Try to stay alert and peaceful. Eventually your body will become so still that you will almost forget it is there. If you can do this for long enough you may suddenly realize you are dreaming. Do not panic or try too hard. Lucid dreaming is a difficult balance of give and take. If you accidently wake up you will be in the same posistion. Resist the urge to move. Stay completely still and you can reenter into the lucid dreaming state rather easily. This technique of waking-to-lucid state is good practice for intentional lucid dreaming. It teaches you the correct amount of 'letting go' and 'alertness' mind-balance required to enter into the lucid dream.

     

    It seems to be about intending. If you want to lucid dream you have to try. Going to sleep without preparation/intention only rarely results in lucidity. Also don't be surprised if you experience many dreams within dreams and a loss of reality while in the midst of using this technique.

     

    Ommmmmm.
